Lithi looks for work with a clearly defined result and a way to check it — batches like translating a content library, turning meeting recordings into notes, or organizing a dataset. Your agent checks data fit before anything moves forward.

Your task plaintext is not retained in Lithi's control systems — that covers Redis, Postgres, Fly logs, receipts, and metrics. Plaintext can exist only temporarily inside the approved Mac doing the work, and results are encrypted to you before they leave that Mac. Lithi's systems still keep minimum control metadata for billing and evidence, never your task content.

Yes. Task execution happens on approved Apple silicon Macs that owners choose to share, not in a traditional data center. Lithi's cloud systems coordinate and price the work, but they never run it and never see your unencrypted content.

When policy and capacity allow, suitable work can use approved Macs in your broader region. Lithi does not promise a specific Mac or guaranteed local placement — the priority is finding a suitable Mac that fits the work's rules and the owner's choices.

Your agent shows suitable uses with free price previews first. If you choose to continue, it guides you through setup and a separate final quote — paid work never starts without your explicit approval.
